This is a remarkable story: full of vivid fancy and quaint originality. In its most fantastic imaginings it carries with it a sense of reality, and derives a singular attraction from that combination of simplicity, originality, and subtle humour, which is so much appreciated by lively and thoughtful children. Children of a larger growth will also be deeply interested in Kitty's strange journey, and her wonderful experiences. "A fascinating wonder-book for children."--_Athenæum._ "Among all the Christmas volumes which the year has brought to our table this one stands out _facile princeps_--a gem of the first water, bearing upon every one of its pages the signet mark of genius. . . . All is told with such simplicity and perfect naturalness that the dream appears to be a solid reality. It is indeed a Little Pilgrim's Progress."--_Christian Leader._ _MARGERY MERTON'S GIRLHOOD:_ By ALICE CORKRAN. With 6 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $1·25. The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by her father--an officer in India--to the care of an elderly aunt residing near Paris. The accounts of the various persons who have an after influence on the story, the school companions of Margery, the sisters of the Conventual College of Art, the professor, and the peasantry of Fontainebleau, are singularly vivid. There is a subtle attraction about the book which will make it a great favourite with thoughtful girls. "Another book for girls we can warmly commend. There is a delightful piquancy in the experiences and trials of a young English girl who studies painting in Paris."--_Saturday Review._ _MEG'S FRIEND._ By ALICE CORKRAN. With 6 full-page Illustrations by ROBERT FOWLER. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $1·25. Meg, a child of unknown parentage, has been brought up by a woman who abuses the trust. She is removed to a ladies' school, passes successfully through the many troubles incident to so complete a change, and is ultimately taken into the house of a mysterious benefactor, who proves to be her grandfather. Her fine nature at length breaks down his coldness and apparent aversion to her; and after long separation she once more meets the friend of her neglected childhood. "Another of Miss Corkran's charming books for girls, narrated in that simple and picturesque style which marks the authoress as one of the first amongst writers for young people."--_The Spectator._ BY MARY C. ROWSELL. * * * * * _THORNDYKE MANOR:_ A Tale of Jacobite Times. By MARY C. ROWSELL. With 6 full-page Illustrations by L. LESLIE BROOKE. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $1·25.
